I've got an Ultra 1 and Ultra 2, but when I look at what I
need, a Netra is more appropriate.  I'm using both the U1
and U2 headless, so there's no video card in either of
them.  Also the Netras I've seen are all rack-mountable,
so that's a plus.

If I had to pick between a U10 or a Netra, I'd
definitely go with the Netra (esp. with the recent
negative comments about the U10 case and IDE).
